An excellent presentation that covered things in exactly as much detail as I'd want for the format of the talk. Good use of code samples without spending too much time explaining things unrelated to the topics at hand, and a smooth flow from one topic to the next. Spoke clearly and was very easy to understand, and I think I was one of 3 people in the audience you got the "yo dog" reference, so that was fun. Would love to see presentations on other topics by this speaker. Great work!

I found the first half very helpful by giving me the names and concepts of tools I can research later and use as applicable.

I think the second half got too much into code. It is great to know what memcache can do, but going through the code to use it will not help me. I won't remember it, and so would need to research it anyway.

Recording the "live" code demos was a great idea.

Very informative. I have a lot to research now :)

I found the high-level talk about specific tools for performance analysis, load testing and caching techniques very useful, but the code examples got too granular for me. Perhaps would have been able to follow the code with more exposure to the tools, but it was a bit much for an introduction talk.

Good basic overview of what you can do with ZF2 modules (Spoiler alert: pretty much anything). Might be a little tough to follow for people unfamiliar or brand-new to ZF2.

Very informative! Thanks!

A great range of topics, touching on those items enough to give us a flavor so that we can search out more details later if necessary. A good overview.

The only addition I would make is to add some discussion of tools that can be used to test security (or find security flaws). Burp is one example.

Enjoyed the talk. Learned some new things and Chris was very knowledgeable about the subject.

Great session. I learned several new things.

I enjoyed the training day, and definitely learned something. The exercises were appropriately sized so they could be completed in a reasonable amount of time.

What I felt was missing was an overview of WordPress coding philosophy. Themes, plug-ins, widgets, hooks, filters -- how do they fit together? For example, the concept of a theme -- which you would think would be responsible for generating the html -- calling core functions that directly output html is not obvious, and is different from other frameworks.

There were hints of "this is a good coding practice," but we needed more of those. Far better to start by learning best practices early!
